CALIFORNIA HOUSES.
Why They Are Found Preferable in Eastern
Markets.
New York, March I.— "Why does Cali
fornia stock sell higher than Eastern-bred
stock in New York?" was asked ivter C.
Kellogg, the treat aui-tluueer, to-day.
"There are two reasons," be replied,
" Calif' rnia breeders cannot afford to
pay freight on inferior horses and bring
them here. They have seen gcod
animals get out whole on their
expenses, Mid, consequently, inferior ones
are left at home. Then, again, stock that
ha« been grown a generation or two in
California makes a good outcross
for Eastern blood. It affords not
only blood outcross, hut also climatic out
cross, which is found to work well in breed

Frecial to The Morning Can.
Washington, March The Republi
can Representatives from California 4 are
bi'i mi besieged by messages concerning the
appointment to the vacancy caused by the
death of the Collector of Internal Revenue
for the District of San Francisco. The
friends of a number of prominent Republi
cans are being heard from, and some warm
friends of the various applicants neglect to
pay telegraph tolls. This embarrassing
duty falls upon the member who is unfortu
nate enough to receive the messages, and
one member to-day paid out over $15 on
collect messages concerning this matter.
The last one received called for S2 30, and
the Congressman was in such a frame of
mind that he at hrst told the messenger-boy
to leave with it. but he reconsidered the
matter and paid the charges under protest.
The Republican members held a meeting
to-day and spent some time discussing the
matter of the appointment to this vacancy.
The names most prominently mentioned in
connection with tho appointment are: John
C Quinn, Assistant Postmaster of San
Francisco; 11. Z. Osborneof Los Angeles,
R. M. McKusiek and F. C. Franks of Santa
Clam. Ii is understood, also, that General
Vandever is an applicant. The delegation
will hold another meeting to-morrow, at
which time, it is thought, an agreement will
be reached and the selection made known
to the President. It is believed the Cali
fornia delegation will rush the matter in
order to shut oil collect messages.
THE LAST WEEK.
Bills to Be Disposed of in Congress Before

Washington', March I.— The Appropria
tions Committee of the Senate lias been at
work the win le day getting the appropria
tion bills in shape. It is believed that the
condition of business is such as to make an
extra session very probable. Tares appro
priation bills, viz., the Postofflee, Agricul
ture and General Deficiency, have not yet
passed the Senat?, but the first named is
well advanced toward final Rctioo aud the
other two will be reported to-morrow. The
condition of the other appropriation bills is
as follows: The Arniv, Military Academy.
Fortifications and -Naval have either become
laws or merely await the President's signa
ture to become laws, the Consular and Diplo
matic, Pension, Indian, District of Columbia,
Sundry Civil i.nd Legislative, Executive and
Judicial bills are in conference, land on some

NATIONAL I'OI^ITICS.
Gorham Thinks Legislation Ib Controlled by
Personal Likes and Dislikes.
Xe^w- Yo::k, March I.— A Tribune's Wash
ington dispatch (aya: Genrtse C. Gorliam,
formerly Clerk of the United Mates Senate,
tays that he takes no interest In politics
any more. 1 1 ■ thinks national politics is
dying out iv Washington. " I'eisoual poli
tics," said he, "hits taken its place. It is
rare to find a man in either brimcii of Con
gress who eugaues iv legUlatlou with any
thing hut a personal view." (iorhain thinks
that this political degeneracy is most clearly
shown in the Senate. Their personal likes
aml dislikes contiol every til lug, and per
sonal jealousies arc most keen and bitter.

HEARST'S THOROUGHBREDS.
Condition of the Turf Engagements of the
Late Senator's Filj Stable.
New Yokk, March I.— A World di?patc!i
says : The death of Senator Hearst will not
decrease the value of his thorough
breds, as the dPiith of lielinont did,
for the Senator had his entries
in all stakes altered several months
ago from "G. Hearst" to "G. Hearst & 0*
In this way all the. valuable engagements Of
the Senator's fine stable will not be lost. It
Is not thought that the Senator's sou
will continue the stable, as he has shown
very little interest in horses. The "OUi
Senator's" death comes at an especially un
timely period of the turf, as within the lust
few mciitns the death of Belmont, and prac
Ucal retirement of Scott and Ilatrgin, ha\e

fur eight days more, and the .Southern fa

that many become exhausted from cold and

at 1:50 o'clrck in the afternoon, put the loss
of life in the valley anywhere from thirty up
to 100. All along the valley for 200 miles
everything is desolation. Houses and barns,
stocks and fences, have been carried away
by the od, leaving the country as bare as
a desert. Eighty miles south of here,
where 6000 Cucopah Indians live, the
country is flooded for eighty miles
square, and, as there arc no hills for refuse,
it is reported that over 100 of them have
been drowned. The great valley of the
Colorado River is one vast sea of water.
The los ■ in this county foots up over 92,000,
--000. Old Yuma will probably never be
rebuilt. The town will go higher up on the
hills.
Vi ma. March — The. statement made
tlmt a great loss of life tins occurred here is
untrue and absolutely incorrect. One man
is known to have been drowned, and there
is a report of the death of others, but it is
net confirmed. Xews from Mojave Valley,
just received. is that many thousands of
dollars' worth of vi-.luable property has been
destroy^], anil, although dozens of narrow
"capes A'" reported, no lives are believed
to . i...v.. . born -, lost. The settlers 111
trie GII3 alley have lost large
numbers of live stock, and nearly all
are without shelter. The United States
Experimental Farm, which, before the
flood, was one mile from the Gila River, is
now located on the south bank of that
stream, the channel bavins changed entirely
during the overflow. The Yuma Indians
have lost everything they owned by the
overflow, and horses, camp equipage, pro
visions «nil tools have been .ill swept away.
Unless the Yuma Indians are assisted they
will suffer for food. Later and fuller news
is expected from the Gild Valiey to-night.
The Colorado and Gila Rivers are now iall
ing. The weather is clear and cool.
The great flood of February, 1891, will be
lons remembered by the people of Arizona,
for during the past week i>ne of the most
disastrous storms in tlio history of the

A Young Man Who Has Been Playing a

New York, March I.— The police here
have a man who says his name is Max
Rothschild, and who is said to have been
doing business with dry-goods merchants
throughout the West. The prisoner, who Is
a man about 3G years o* age, has, it appears,
a little oftiee on Broadway, and has had a
drummer traveling about the country offer
ing to sell cotton goods at a rate 40 per
cent cheaper than the goods could be pur
chased of other parlies. The drummer
announced that he .represented the firm of
William Rothschild, who owned big cotton
mills in Maine. The plan was to ask for
money before the goods ordered were de
livered. Into the trap many firms
have fallen. It, however, remained
for Xi ne & Kirn ball, and Horn's
Campbell & Co. of Red Bluff, Cat., to give
the needed pointers in the ca^e to the police
in this city. Ou this Information Inspector
Byrnes acted. The reputable cotton arm of
William Rulhschild & Co. ol 4tj Howard
street has severely suffered through the
prisoner's work. On the prisoner was
found a check for $ZA from Joseph Meyer
of Salem, Oregon, and also an Interesting
letter from G. Willis, President of the Cap-

was evidently auspicious, for in speaking
